Just one of the problems when using "lowest bidder". We are fucked no matter what.

Wasn't low bid. It was justification which makes this even worse

This action was to establish an order for third party data services from Equifax to verify taxpayer identity and to assist in ongoing identity verification and validations needs of the Service. A sole source order is required to cover the timeframe needed to resolve the protest on contract TIRNO-17-Z-00024. This is considered a critical service that cannot lapse.

Nothing stinks worse than of Sole Source. There was no competitive bidding.

It is more about corruption than lowest bidder, such tenders usually aren't given with awarding all points to "lowest bidder", they check other things like "technical ability" etc. Anyway since government is so corrupt, only way to get such beefy tenders is by bribing & knowing people in high places.

Well, Trump has been busy lately and this one slipped by. I am sure that he will do something about this.

No, they're hiring Equifax to take the fall when they leak the tax info of conservative Americans.

And they're banking on the public being uninformed. Literally

IRS takes direction from the President, Senate and the House...Hard to believe the IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has gone rogue and made a deal on his own. He is a swamp hoe, many he still working for the previous administration.
